Also, empowing random high school coaches to be genital inspectors that are immune to lawsuits.
Definitely not something that will go *horribly* wrong.
Hey, remember that fear mongering comic strip that shows a guy claiming to be a woman in the women's bathroom inspecting the genitals of a little girl and telling the mom 'it's okay, I'm a woman', and how it claimed this is what would happen to cis-gendered women if trans women were allowed access to women's bathrooms?Also, empowing random high school coaches to be genital inspectors that are immune to lawsuits.
Or how 3-year old kids shouldn't have any say in what gender they are, right Bill Maher? Except when they're cis ofcourse; then a 3-year old boy can call himself a boy and a 3-year old girl can call herself a girl.Yeah, wonder what the people supporting this bill will say once people starting doing the same checks to cis kids. Suddenly this will be a bad thing.
Sure. But until it goes wrong, it's a tasty opportunity to look good in front of their voter base on a current moral panic that's extraordinarily cheap to run.Also, empowing random high school coaches to be genital inspectors that are immune to lawsuits.

I mean, Jim Jordan and Matt Gaetz are still respected members of the GOP establishment. Decent chance they wouldn't have a problem with the obvious happeningSure.

Before I go through this one, is it gonna be like the last one where you can't hold more than two sentences in your head at a time so everything looks kosher in sound bites?HB0011

Would you guess, there's nothing in that bill that empowers anyone to inspect people's bodies?
What does this commission do then? " (A) hear the information that supports the student's eligibility; " That's all. What information are they hearing? "Any information the student wishes to disclose to the commission that may be relevant to the commission's eligibility determination," and/or from any medical professionals or other witnesses the student chooses to include to support the student's eligibility."
You're all way too gullible.
It doesn't count as sexual abuse if tstorm can look the other way while it happens.Before I go through this one, is it gonna be like the last one where you can't hold more than two sentences in your head at a time so everything looks kosher in sound bites?
But hey, closed door meetings involving young kids, sports, and coaches immune to reprisal have never been hotbeds of sexual abuse before, right?
He's certainly appears right that the bill does not obviously grant any of the Commission members the personal right to inspect bodies.Before I go through this one, is it gonna be like the last one where you can't hold more than two sentences in your head at a time so everything looks kosher in sound bites?

Well, we gotta nip this sort of thing in the bud, otherwise other people might start thinking they have the right to be something other than what I say they should be!All because of one (1) trans girl in the entire state of Utah
Welp, he probably won't get re-elected. He'll get primaried and replaced... sadFour kids and only one of them playing girls sports. That’s what all of this is about. Four kids who aren’t dominating or winning trophies or taking scholarships. Four kids who are just trying to find some friends and feel like they are a part of something. Four kids trying to get through each day. Rarely has so much fear and anger been directed at so few. I don’t understand what they are going through or why they feel the way they do. But I want them to live. And all the research shows that even a little acceptance and connection can reduce suicidality significantly. For that reason, as much as any other, I have taken this action in the hope that we can continue to work together and find a better way. If a veto override occurs, I hope we can work to find ways to show these four kids that we love them and they have a place in our state.
I recognize the political realities of my decision. Politically, it would be much easier and better for me to simply sign the bill. I have always tried to do what I feel is the right thing regardless of the consequences. Sometimes I don’t get it right, and I do not fault those who disagree with me. But even if you disagree with me, I hope this letter helps you understand the reasons for my decision.
Maybe you could help me out here. Why is there a commission at all? Why couldn't this be done a letter of the expert of the students choosing?HB0011

So... the expert can give them a piece of paper?The student might choose an expert that agrees with them
Because the function is to place oversight of trans people in sport under political control (of Republicans).Maybe you could help me out here. Why is there a commission at all? Why couldn't this be done a letter of the expert of the students choosing?
Which they then say isn't good enough and reject the student. Or give them the run around and demand more and more invasive tests, which never quite hit the standard they're looking for.So... the expert can give them a piece of paper?
"The government is the problem. Put us in power and we'll prove it!"As I've said before, the US Republican Party excels at creating problems and then selling their electorate the solution.
